According to Wikipedia (January 2015), a fundamental physical constant is:

The above definition is not taken strictly and some institutions such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) use the term for dimensional physical constants such as the speed of light (c), the Planck constant (h), the gravitational constant (G), etc. They are classified as fundamental because they appear to be universal in nature, but are they? The question arises because their numerical values depend on the system of units used and unit systems are in most cases empirically and arbitrarily defined.

But, what if a dimensional constant is related in some unknown fashion that has avoided our scrutiny, to a known or unknown dimensionless fundamental physical constant? Should we consider it fundamental once we discover the unknown relation? I do not believe so, because in that case it would be a derived constant and therefore not fundamental. A fundamental physical constant, the name says it, has to retain a constant numerical value under all possible physical relationships.

According to the Infophysical Spacetime Model (ISM), Reality is Spacetime and Spacetime is constructed, in other words, Reality is cyclically and continuously constructed, therefore a fundamental constant has to relate time to space in some fashion, according to some Spacetime fundamental construction cycle. Any dimensional constant that cannot be expressed in spacetime properties (temporal properties and/or spatial properties) is suspect to not being fundamental and probably is not.

I believe all fundamental physical constants need to be, like the atomic scale constant (Aα) defined in this monograph, unitless scale constants, relating space to time via a fundamental (ISM) construction cycle.

explains and justifies that possibility.
